The Victoria line is pretty fast too, for the same reason

It is not, it just makes a lot of noise. I was shocked to discover the
leisurely Gospel Oak to Barking line does a similar length journey in
the same time, with only slightly fewer stops.

Diamond Geezer has a handy chart:

Hmmm, I am unconvinced by the average speed over the whole line. The
Central and especially the Metropolitan line have long non-stop expanses
which would certainly help the overall speed, but not the speed in
central London with lots of stops.

But on reading the original post more carefully, it seems Boltar is
discussing the speed in nonstop areas so this is not relevant.
